Planet Elephant Book Trailer - Tammie Matson

From the jungles of Borneo, to the civil strife of Assam, to the black
markets of Vietnam, Dr Tammie Matson continues her quest to help reduce
the human-elephant conflict around the world. In this follow-up to her
bestselling memoir Elephant Dance, Tammie
takes on the black markets of Asia determined to make a difference and
break the chains of rhino-horn poaching and the illegal ivory trade.
Travelling from her new home in Singapore throughout South-East Asia,
she meets presidents and traffickers in palaces and tourist markets,
journeying to the dark heart of a dark industry. Returning to her
beloved Africa, she finds old friends facing rough times and elephants
and rhinos on the brink again. And torn between her passionate
commitment to conservation and her precious growing son, Tammie faces
her biggest challenge yet, balancing work and family. Thought-provoking,
funny and moving, Planet Elephant is the continued story of one woman's courage and conviction.
